3 star on food cause I didn't eat here. But the shop keep was very attentive. She greeted us as we walked in, told us some of the history of the place, and checked in with us twice as we wandered about. I didn't buy anything on that trip but you'd better bet that I will next time! All the antique and silly themed jars, shakers, and glasses are too amazing to pass up.

Did you know this place has the world record for the most cookie jars? This place has delicious ice cream and It's more than reasonably priced. I'd say it's better than cold stone creamery. Just be careful if you have small children there's a lot of things you can break in here.

Great place for ice cream and fudge and shakes. Great location Jourdan and Joey the horses that pull the boat up the canal.

The best damn ice cream in the world! And the waffle cones are homemade fresh right there, and they have a lil secret surprise of love in the bottom ;) It’s also fascinating to admire all the cookie jars. I’ve been going for years and still find new cookie jars! I’ve been visiting them for over 20 years when they were in another building even and still, the smell of them fresh cones takes me back to the first time as a lil girl holding my momma and daddy’s hands. You can’t go to Metamora and not go here!

Really cool just to go look around. The ice cream is tasty and very good priced. The staff, as with pretty much the whole town, was super nice. I look forward to seeing them again.
